Yes, it could have been done in an hour,,, But don't you love the interviews, the suspense, the old videos?? I do. I'm loving the explanations and details because honestly I was too young to even pay attention at that moment about all the buzz. An increible story, for sure!

Interesting story that could be told in 3 episodes, or 90 min to 2hrs. They are milking it.

Doug Mathews is the FBI equivalent of Barnie Fife. In the first episode you'll learn he was ambitious, slightly hyperactive, bored, and not trusted with much. One day he happens to notice a post it note on his bosses computer and asks if he can look into it.

What follows is a honest documentary about how the FBI fumbled into this huge conspiracy. You see agents relating how they didn't think things would work, practically rolling their eyes while talking about Mathews.

It shows how these guys are just normal humans, with tedious jobs and not some sort of super sleuth agency people imagine they are. It's more like the Mayberry police than the Silence of The Lambs FBI Agent Clair Starling.

Just watched the first of six episodes and found the style and characters very interesting. Several laughs. I do not remember the actual incident(s) but the story is so far very well told using people from both the FBI and McDonald's who were involved in the investigation as well as explaining why some people were omitted ("No." lol). The visuals, the pacing, the narrative were all very good and am looking forward to the future episodes of this documentary.

Interesting story but it could've been told in half the time. I think I'll just wait for the last episode.
